This is an extraordinary admission by a Christian minister.
Wow. That was refreshing!
If you follow that logic to it's conclusion, your recognize that belief is irrelevant. It's a good start towards freeing oneself from religion!
the comments sections certainly reinforces the fact believers will always put faith in prayer despite evidence to the contrary
He should hold gatherings as large as music festivals and let the flocks he preached to, know this. Be noisy about it, put it out there!!! but seems he's a fence sitter right now! He still strongly uses the term god and feel that subtle prayers offers empathy. Let the truth set them free! Don't sugar coat it.
He’s not sitting on the fence. He pretty outspoken in his disdain for Trump and the evangelicals that support him.
Think about it. Prayer is just a form of begging. Why would the all knowing, all powerful creator of the Universe require begging to help someone in need. Human beings really suck at this creating Gods thing.
Throughout history, humans have prayed to the deities to intercede on their behalf.
@Rob1948 nothing fails like prayer eh?
@Redheadedgammy I always thought prayer was useless if there was a true all knowing being. I just makes them feel good I guess.
@Sticks48
None of them are nice, because they don't exist. The images of dieties were created by man (which you rightfully say were created by dicks) to lead people astray whilst collecting money from them, even from the very poor that cannot afford but who "need the blessings" which they believe will make their lives better to free them from poverty, "bad luck" and illness.
@TimeOutForMe I was being sarcastic. You were Hindu, how do they keep track of 33 million Gods? I googled it because I know they have a lot, but that is really over the top.
@TimeOutForMe How intelligent are they?
and that already should spell out to human beings, this all-knowing god thing does not exist!
@Sticks48
they cannot prosper as a nation because this $#!? holds them back no matter how intelligent they are.
I would say to them, keep your culture, just quit the BS!!!
@TimeOutForMe True.
